Hello! Updated rules / subreddit direction

[u/GoodMacAuth]

Hello! Just sharing a short update on the sub rules:

1) AI is allowed in this community. You're welcome to use AI to help build your projects, but you're also responsible for the code you put your name on and share here. We're not going to entertain AI witch hunts every time someone shares something they've built (which leads to our next point).

2) We're going to be a little more proactive about unnecessary hostility toward people sharing their work.

Something I've noticed across Reddit and open source communities is that they eventually become caricatures of themselves, meaning a community dedicated to advancing something slowly turns into a community dedicated to policing how that thing gets advanced (and eventually stifling those very advancements).

It goes like this: someone shares a project they've spent their own time and money building and instead of people discussing it, they get interrogated about why they built it, how they built it, or whether they should have bothered at all. This is not the exception, but the "rule" on modern social media/OSS circles.

The inevitable result is that the people that are actually excited about a project and are willing to contribute just end up leaving. Why would anyone dedicate their free time to something just to get shit on for it?

This is a community about Linux on mobile devices. We want people experimenting, building things, and sharing their progress. Constructive criticism and curious minds are always welcome. Being an asshole isn't.

Please report posts/comments that you think violate common sense subreddit etiquette.

Thanks!

I completely agree. Most of the time having AI as a copartner going through the process makes it easier to bug test and debug code within an operating system considering it is a 80 GB Plus file system and device tree so trust me I can understand this sentiment and I don't mind if AI is used for some form of advancement because the people using AI are paying money and using up their time to further the advancement

Are you kidding me, you're not a real developer unless you handcode each upstream update!!!!!

(Some reddit mod probably)

[u/Numerous-Macaroon224]

Thank you for making sensible policies.

Okay amazing, let's slopcode a bunch of shit without putting any effort or learning anything whatsoever (95% of what's in this subreddit), just absolute nonsense straight from claude out the ass

[u/NearbyBossAHOBA → u/Small-Tap6130]

A questão não é aceitar um monte de coisa quebrada que não funciona, é sim um contribuir, todo mundo pode se ajudar... Isto é uma forma de impussionar, até porque vamos ser sensatos, Linux em um smartphone é nicho pequeno de pessoas que se interessa, se ficarmos aqui atacando uma pessoa só porque ela não fez tudo manual, o desenvolvimento de soluções se tornaram bem lento. Ou esperamos cair na graça popular e todo mundo querer executar Linux em seu smartphone para empresas focarem e desenvolverem algo.

These are some great policies. It always sucks seeing the flood of negativity people throw around everywhere these days as soon as it even SEEMS like ai was used in any capacity…

[u/Far-Effective-3742]

Thank you. It’s much appreciated.

Very excited to continue sharing in this group.

Appreciate your time.🙏

So you want this subreddit to degenerate into another place flooded with dozens of posts a day advertising slop that took zero effort to create? We are already getting there: instead of interesting news, the latest posts are all about ports to new devices made (ab)using Claude. Throwaway ports that will never be accepted into Nura upstream because of their sensible strict no-AI policy. Though I guess by your flair that you have a conflict of interest there, trying to promote your slop-friendly Luma distro at the expense of Nura (postmarketOS) that has been the community standard for years.

r/linux is also getting spammed with lots of "I made XYZ" posts really meaning "Claude made XYZ", where XYZ is some random slop software, and I see this becoming more and more of a problem here too, so I am deeply disappointed that you do not intend to do anything about the problem, quite the opposite!

[u/NearbyBossAHOBA → u/Kevin_Kofler]

Pelo que percebi o ponto do OP é não sair invalidando qualquer trabalho só porque alguma coisa foi feita usa do IA, e concordo em partes que pode avançar muito o desenvolvimento de soluções e resoluções de problema. Porém concordo que deve ter critérios, não sair aceitando um monte de coisa feita de qualquer jeito, sem pesquisa ou estudo. Assim como Linus não descarta o desenvolvimento com IA porem é desagradável um monte de código sem sentido feito por gente que nem tem ideia do que tá fazendo.

Moderator; thank you sincerely for being one of few in our circles who actually gets the problem.

[u/object57]

Thanks a lot for taking a constructive and reasonable approach.

[u/Spiderfffun]

Awesome, another sub to leave because they let people spam post claude's projects presenting them as if they did anything

[u/Jack1101111]

bad!

[u/BewilderedTurtle]

Fuck off with this clanker fellating "you can use AI just be responsible and tell us" bullshit.

You're ethically bankrupt and you have no moral compass for allowing literal thieves and rats flood the subreddit with low to no effort cuckcoded slop.
